I kept waiting for him to come up with a apple snail but it looks like he went to bed hungry.

Lake Marian, Fl.

MKIII, 500 IS with 1.4x, 1/1600, f9, ISO 400, EC-.3, hand held on rocking boat. Cropped to position in frame.

[Philip Lombard]

Excellent shot, not crazy about the BG but still good.

[Chris Dodds]

Razor sharp with nice water drop and catch-light. Nice low angle from a boat.

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice capture and details on your bird...:D

[Doug Brown]

Love the water droplet! Good sharpness considering the fact that you were shooting from a boat. The LLC is a little bright, as are the OOF branches to the left of the bird.

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Mike you selected to cut the legs which is fine and the corp works for me Not much you can do with the busy bg Would have moved a little for separation with the bright stalks if possible !!! btw a couple of these guys hand around the boat ramp all the time !!!!

[Grady Weed]

Well sharp and detailed it is! It is just a bit too bright and contrasty for me. But it beats mine for details.

Hi Mike,
Bird is great........I'm sure you'll be trying cleaner BG's......maybe a drop from f9 a bit........will also help with speed and rocking? Just noticed Mark 3........go to ISO 800.......you'll be glad you did,
